About meThat isn't me - it's Kevin the Vicarage Cat

About my libraryNow Collections have arrived I've added books owned by other members of my family. My Library contains the books owned by any of us; Kerry's are mine; Jon's Study contains my husband's books and Clare's are my daughters. My son only reads on screen or newspapers and magazines so nothing to catalogue yet. I'm adding to Ever Read as I remember. Browsing through other libraries here often jogs my memory - even back to my childhood reading.

I just came from the VMC group too..... Welcome!
I love the picture of the Vicarage Cat-in-Training......looks a little like a smaller version of a kitty we've just invited into our house forever with his sibling and mother, who is hardly more than a kitten herself. We put our 18 year-old tuxedo cat down about three weeks ago, and the current trio showed up at around the same time. Resident dog and cat are not as thrilled as I am, but they will all be O.K. with time and patience.
And now, as a retired teacher, I'm off to see what Pedants' Corner is all about.

Yep, I'm the same with collecting VMCs. It started under a year ago and I'm up to nearly 100. I can't keep up with reading them all but will one day... The VMC group is really lovely and I blame everyone in there for my LT sub-addiction!
That's a cute cat!
Wow, I just clicked on your profile to see what the CD in vicarage stood for, and I see you have 313 Chalet School books! I LOVED them when I was a kid. I think they're in my parent's garage... must find them. I have a 2 year old daughter to give them to in a few years (hopefully they'll offset some of the nasty pink teen mags that she's already pulling off the library shelves...)

Yes, I really love seeing what other people add and getting ideas for things to search out. My wishlist is pretty huge, though, really (not on librarything).

The Chalet school collection is kind of both. Currently it's really mine, since, despite her undoubted intelligence (ahem!), she's not quite that advanced yet. I'm hoping she'll enjoy them as much as I did. The plan, in any case, is to have a general children's library for her and her eventual siblings and then for her also to have her own specific books which may be subsumed into the general library once she's outgrown them.

I haven't heard of Crawley Down. I'm presuming it's a village?
Looks like we share quite a few books. And I grew up in a vicarage, too!
That's quite the Chalet collection you have there! I'm still (mostly) or Armada multiple-cut reprints *growls* and trying to find out what got cut from where. I'll get there someday, I'm sure!
There's nowt wrong with Girls Own! Have you really got eight copies of Chalet Girls in Camp though? That's very... committed!

Dorothy Dunnett is jolly good isn't she, if complicated at times. But how nice to have books without simple or obvious answers.

By the way I hope you recognised the pretty Tyrolean greeting!
Gruss gott!

I say, your collection is absolutely topping :-)
